Migration watch was pretty dire this morning with just 2 Swallows on the move. 4 Little Egrets and a Tufted Duck overhead were the only other birds of note. I'm noticing a total lack of Finches / Passerines moving past this hill, except bizarrely, for the 2 Crossbills on my initial recce which is slightly worrying for my future success here.
Elsewhere, the local horse paddocks had quite a few Whitethroats, a Juvenile Stonechat, which was a real surprise. We had Stonechats here in the Spring, but they must have gone very quiet during the breeding season. I had presumed they had moved on. Also, Garden Warbler and Blackcap, plus a very sleek looking Hobby over the village.
The Garden had a Willow Warbler drop in on Tuesday.
